| Who are your three favorite female singers? @fleschler I’m with you on JERI SOUTHERN and DINAH WASHINGTON.Glad to hear that you’ve given STACEY KENT a chance too. After years of listening to her, I’m still totally enamoured with what MS. KENT can do with her little voice...In hindsight, it ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof Fascinating. Your comments about your EICO HF-81 could almost be overlaid upon my own review thoughts of our LEBEN CS300F. But I must add that with the right speakers - a very big disclaimer, admittedly - the LEBEN is fast and staunch in t... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof This thread has been a very interesting read - and the journey continues!I hear what you are saying about SS versus Tubed amp. We own several great SS amps - and they do some nice things - but we always experience the same feeling of "home-... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? @ sondeknz The question was top 3, not a list of 90. I have 42,000 LPs/78s/CDs. I chose my top three from recordings dating back 100 years, of which 20% have female singers. I don't doubt you prefer nearly all contemporary singers but there ... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? This was very tough.Not because there aren't a lot of great female vocalists. There are.The challenge here was to pick my three best female vocalists, ever!This forced me to consider their vocal talents - and not just the quality of the songs or ... | |
| A quick sense of the kt120 tube KKURTISThanks for these insights on the KT120 tubes. You mentioned at the start that Chris did some upgrades on your SFP2.Just wondering: did the upgrade include just the new tubes? Or were there some other component changes? Caps, Resistors, Wir... | |
| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 LIGUYYou are very knowledgeable on this stuff, so perhaps you can answer my question:Just about every SINGLE-ENDED amp on the planet - including most of the FIRST WATT models - drop power into lower impedances.This was very true of my 30w FIRST WA... | |
| LINN SONDEK LP12 BEARING OIL: Alternatives... VIRIDIANI agree with you.Having a heavy lubricant that creates some sort of "drag" or resistance has little or nothing to do with how well it prevents wear on the bearing.(I accept that there is probably a relationship there...)That said, my beari... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Attention JOB 225 Owners!Missing that gentle bloom that only tubes can deliver?Struggling with too much Gain and insufficient attenuation "fine-tuning" range?Wishing you could tailor the sound just a smidgen, for your room?Looking for a bit of a p... | |
| Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them? Interesting review. I too have heard good things about TCHERNOV wire. "Bass lines are fine, bass goes much lower than my speakers can handle " How is it that you can determine this?It may seem like a stupid question, but if your speakers don’t go ... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I can see that it has been more than three years since my last few posts on the topic of LINN LP12 upgrades.Since that time, I have stumbled across a newer LINN LP12 enhancement called TIGER PAW TRANQUILITY.In essence, it is said to relieve the be... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Attention GEORGELOFII noticed your post... "And as for a tube amp and the Job not liking each other, it's not that they don't like each other it's the fact that there is too much gain, massive in fact, as Devilboy said way back about the Job "IMO... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Which is your favourite amongst your unsuspended tables?I used to own a REGA PLANAR 3 with an RB300: a good table, but my LINN hot rod eats it IMHO... | |
| Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid PreAmp heard it? I built my kitset TRANSCENDENT GGP back in 2012. It has always been a superb preamp.But recently I got the itch and applied a bunch of upgrades and modifications. Still the same circuit but with better components and some 'house-keeping' tweaks in... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I picked up my LINN LP12 around 1997, when vinyl was perceived as just about dead.I didn't pay a lot for it - Cherry fluted plinth, glued pressed-steel subchassis (with CIRKUS bearing I think), Silver Ittok LVII, BPS H/O MC Cartridge, Trampolinn b... |
